"Mark Halperin, editor-at-large for Time, called President Obama 'a dick' on Thursday on a popular MSNBC morning show and then quickly apologized."
—This sentence is so objectionable! I mean, "Morning Joe" gets about 450,000 total viewers, so I'm not sure you can really call it "popular." Anyway, so then host Joe Scarborough apologized to the children watching. What horrible monster parents are letting their kids watch this garbage? I know school ended this week but Jesus H, people, get it together.
I, for one, wished the President was more of a badass more often. The hypocrisy and illogical inconsistencies of the Teapublican Party are a "target-rich environment" and so he could pretty easily score a ton of political points by picking a fight. Make them defend the indefensible!
If he had read The Awl, he would know he should have called him a goofball, and batshit insane.
All politics aside, saying the President is "kind of a dick" on tv is pretty funny. I'm not too proud to admit that I'll probably always find that funny.
Takes one to know one
He didn't call him a dick, he said he was KIND of a dick. Don't try to distort what actually happened, liberal media.
@Quarterly Prophet That's "librul" to you, buddy.
Well now I'm curious. Did he have some balls at a press conference for a change?
@dntsqzthchrmn He certainly did.
Obama must be doing something right if he uspet those twerps.
Michael Kinsley would be proud (in the sense Halperin expressed his true feelings, not that the statement is true).
Our beloved corporate media is serious business…
Halperin has now been suspended from MSNBC

@sigerson: This. In fact, his avoiding doing this for so long has made oh pretty much everybody wonder: what is the deal with Obama.
Are we on the seven second delay? I wanted to characterize how I thought Halperin behaved. I thought he was kind of a butthurt pussy.

@JoshUng I loathe Halperin, but I thought it was hilarious.
And Halperin is kind of a milk dud munching gerbil faced twit.
